He forgot he had a gun with ammo in the magazine in one of his bags? I hope he
has no children, grandchildren, neighbors or anyone else who might have stumbled
upon that bag and not been trained in weapons safety. What a knucklehead!

"What may be even more disturbing was the fact that all of the firearms were
loaded when TSA officers found them during routine screening of carry-on
bags." Really? You were disturbed that someone had a "loaded"
weapon? What good is an unloaded weapon? And if the person did not realize it
was in their bag then of course it would be loaded. No one carries an unloaded
weapon. May as well not have one.

Makes perfect sense doesn't
it? A wealthy man, CEO of a large corporation, more successful than most of us
will ever be, and he tries to sneak a weapon onto an airplane so he could do
heaven only knows what sort of evil. Yep, absolutely must have done it on
purpose. The only thing that makes sense for sure.

I find it interesting how the DesNews' censors put down any comments that
are critical or demeaning of others, unless of course they're critical of
those on the right side of the aisle. So, for them it's okay to use terms
like "knucklehead" and "nuts".

And what's wrong
with the NRA's staunch defense of our 2nd Amendment rights? They're
entitled to their 1st Amendment right to free speech just like the radical
anti-American left is in their calling for the disarming of the country.

I pity those of you who believe America and its constitution aren't
special, who are so willing to give up freedom for handouts and phoney security.
I realize that this specific right to bear arms is key to our nation's
freedom. Maybe you do too and that's why you regard us as the enemy.

@xscribeWell, if you broke out a window or pierced the hull of the plane
the plane would either lose air pressure and possibly kill people or the
pressure change can rip open the hull also killing people, so that would be some
reasons. Another is do you really want people carrying guns when they are doing
something as horrible as flying?

I have "a gun or two"... Sometimes I look in my safe and say "Hey! I
haven't seen you for a while!". But seriously. Firearms aren't
like that $5 bill you stuffed in a back pocket when you ate at McDonald's.
You don't forget you have them. I have to call this guy on his story.

Also, it's not "clip"; it's "magazine". We can discuss
the effects of cabin depressurization at 35,000ft, but anyone who asks why you
need a gun on a plane must not have been around on September 11, 2001. Armed
passengers could have prevented countless death and destruction. Air Marshals
can carry, and they use frangible ammo that is readily available from companies
like DRT. I'll let you look into why it is "plane-safe ammo". There are lots of reasons "why", but the fact remains that this
gentleman likely just wanted to feel safe on his flight. Can't say I blame
him, but as firearm owners, we have to be very cognizant of the laws and hold
ourselves to a higher standard, ESPECIALLY in this day and age.

"Patrick was traveling and packed a bag that he hadn't used in quite
some time," said Overstock President Jonathan Johnson. "He didn't
realize that he had left a gun in the bag."

This is hilarious.
How many guns does this guy own? Obviously he owns so many that he can't
remember where he left them all. I can just imagine him sitting down on his
couch one day, feeling like he's sitting on something uncomfortable,
lifting up the couch cushion and finding a loaded Glock under it. "Oh good,
I've been wondering where that was."

"There are lots of reasons "why", but the
fact remains that this gentleman likely just wanted to feel safe on his
flight."

That's not what he said. He said (through his
attorney) that he FORGOT it was there. So which is it? An honest (but
potentially deadly) mistake, or he wanted to feel safe? If he can't
account for his loaded weapons, he should be packin' them around.
